A member of the Federal House of Representatives, Hon. (Prince) Olafisoye Wasiu Akinmoyede, has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of the Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Mahood Lekan Balogun, describing it as a personal loss to him and the entire indigenes of Lagelu Local Government area of Oyo State.
In a heartfelt condolence message addressed to the government of Oyo State, the Chairman of Lagelu Local Government, the Lagun family in Lagelu, where Oba Balogun hailed from, and the entire indigenes of Ibadan, the lawmaker conveyed his grief and sympathy for the demise of Oba Lekan Balogun, who passed away on Thursday night, just a few days after celebrating his second anniversary on the throne as the Olubadan of Ibadan land.
“Hon. Lafi,” representing the Akinyele/Lagelu federal constituency, expressed, “Though late Oba Balogun’s reign was short, it was monumental and historic to the people of the ancient city of Ibadan and humanity in general.”
Recalling the pivotal role played by the late Oba Lekan Balogun in his political journey, Hon. Lafi emphasized that the deceased monarch was instrumental in his career, providing both financial and moral support from his days as a councilor up to his current position as a federal lawmaker.
The lawmaker extended his condolences to Governor Seyi Makinde, the Chairman of Lagelu Local Government, the Olubadan-In-Council, immediate and extended members of the Lagun family, and all Ibadan indigenes.
He assured them that the entire constituents of Akinyele/Lagelu stand in solidarity with them, offering prayers and support during this period of grief.
